When we see guys training with low T and low thyroid function we often see adrenal stress with elevated rT3 interfering with what fT3 you have.
How long have you been using that vitamin with 150mcg iodine and 75mcg selenium? 200mcg selenium would be better.
Salt does not cause heart disease or high blood pressure. When there is high blood pressure, less sodium means less blood volume and pressure can be reduced, at the cost of reduced blood circulation. Because of this a brain dead medical community, they decided that salt was a cause and that simply is not true. I have seen where doctor directed low sodium diets have created iodine deficiency and associated problems and the rather useless wide thyroid lab ranges means that they think that this result is great. The press swallowed this hook, line and sinker.
“TT 334 ng/dL 132 – 813”
132? -really? Who is the lab company? Where are you located?
With low FT, FT–>E2 is low and serum E2 is thus as seen.
fT3=3.0 is a bit low. The range looks odd or not so typical. Normally mid-range is ~3.2
Can you get rT3 tested?
TSH should be ~1.0
Is your whole family iodine deficient?
There are some odd things in your CBC.
not having enough vitamin B12 or folic acid in the body?
Do you have heart burn and take meds for that?

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
